Hi,

You can reduce the number of passes by increasing your tool pass depth.

Does that answer your question satisfactorily? If not, please provide some more detail of exactly what you are needing. (and why?)

Okay thanks - I was looking for a step quantity selector box... like in the profile toolpath box... my eyes did not pick up the pass depth parameter selector in the tool database selector... will retry my toolpathing. - thanks again!
